Update 4.24pm: Met Eireann have revealed the rainfall stats during the most recent yellow rainfall warning.

More than 50 millimetres of rain fell between 9am yesterday and 9am this morning in parts of Cork and Kerry.

Gardai say restrictions remain in Bandon, Co. Cork, where the town's main bridge is closed to all traffic from North Main Street, but Baxters bridge is open to traffic.

Other parts of the South and West of the country had between 10mm and 25mm.

Meanwhile, Dublin only recorded 0.1 millimetre - due to the protective 'shadowing effect' from the Wicklow Mountains.

Gardaí in Bandon say water pumps are active in the town.

They believe water levels in the river peaked about an hour ago.

Hickey's Corner is understood to be most affected.

The bypass on the south side of the town is still open.

The town's closure may last for up to three hours, gardaí say.
